Air conditioning was clearly advertised, but it wasn’t available during our stay. We were told it was turned off because heating was “needed” in January, even though it was about 19°C outside and way too warm inside (around 24°C). We booked this hotel specific...

We stayed for 3 nights, and our experience was amazing. The service was exceptional and everyone was very attentive to our needs. They also payed attention to some small details like offering you sunscreen or preparing the room for special occasions. We definitely recommend this place for a couple who want to be relaxed and well attended!
